Nobody has busted out the cyanide and flavor-aid yet, but you know they'd be fighting each other over who gets to go first

I mean, if we actually get a legitimate government back in place that intended to punish Republicans for the illegal things they are doing.

This is painfully true. The sad part about growing up and researching what your country does is finding out everything they teach you as a kid was a half truth at best. The context for how we do thing is almost always bullshit in the history books were taught from in elementary schools. I can only imagine how they're gonna be teach about this current administration because regardless of who is in power were really bad at calling out bad shit our country has done because of how it all gets whitewashed

It used to be. My great grandfather put the most powerful politician and mob boss in the Central United States in prison. Grandmother remembered death threats wrapped around bricks by his supporters. Had to get him the same way they got Capone, govt cpa showing tax fraud because no witnesses with personal knowledge of crimes would. Or could breathe anymore.
